Night falls.

The backyard of the county government.

The lantern hanging under the lintel swayed in the breeze.

In the side room, Xia Zhining was wearing a long black dress, and was sitting in front of the dresser at the moment, wiping the long sword.

Xia Zhining's sword is very sharp, and it can be broken.

But her face showed a little impatience, and finally put down the rag that wiped the sword, turned to look at Xia Zhiqing, who was tuning the guzheng, and said, "Sister, it's almost time, and that bastard won't come tonight." ”

When she said this, it wasn't that Xia Zhi was thinking about being caught.

But after Chen Mo said those words that time, until now, he has not touched them once.

Originally, according to Chen Mo, if Xia Zhiqing repaid it, they would all be able to leave as long as nine times, that is, at the beginning of July.

But Chen Mo didn't ask for it once, which meant that the time for them to leave would be extended indefinitely.

This feeling is like a part-time worker, when it comes time to pay the salary, the shopkeeper delays and does not settle the salary.

Xia Zhiqing stopped the movements in her hand, raised her head, beautiful and crooked, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she also had a lot of complaints in her heart about this matter, this kind of delay in leaving without knowing when it would be a kind of torture for her.

"Probably just got married. The little wife is pestering. Xia Zhiqing said.

When Chen Mo was practicing in the courtyard, Xia Zhiqing saw Yi Shiyan, who was very likable.

"That woman is a concubine with no status, what kind of little wife." Xia Zhining didn't know why she was saying this.

Seeing that her sister talked about her reputation, Xia Zhiqing's eyes suddenly darkened, and she actually had such a thought, "What about us"?

The innocence of the two sisters was given to Chen Mo, and in the end they didn't get anything.

Even, Xia Zhiqing hesitated about whether to leave in the end.

Xia Zhining looked at her sister, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Sister, that bastard likes you, otherwise you will ask tomorrow?" ”

"Why don't I go?" Xia Zhiqing subconsciously refused, and glared at Xia Zhining.

She went to ask, and asked what?

Ask him why he hasn't come to me for so long?

So what's the difference between this and the prostitutes in Qinglou?

"Then I. Go ask. Xia Zhining said.

"Whatever you want." Xia Zhiqing thought for a while and said, this matter has to be solved after all, it's okay to ask, it's impossible for her to go anyway.

The next day, the weather was cloudy.

After washing, Chen Mo came to the yamen from the Yi family's courtyard.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he actually felt a little sore in his waist.

His grandmother's.

It seems that you have to be tempered.

Xiaolu is a juice girl, don't look at the martial arts, but she can fight very well.

It is estimated that Han Anniang, Xia Zhiqing, and Xia Zhining together can reach Xiaolu.

This made Chen Mo a little puzzled, obviously Xiaolu's figure is so petite, but why is his endurance so strong?

When he came to the yamen, Chen Mo instructed Chunhong to prepare a meal and get himself a bowl of deer blood.

Although the hunting team is gone, there are still people in the village who hunt in the mountains from time to time, and then take them to the city to sell.

After that, Chen Mo was eating breakfast while dealing with the affairs of the county government.

Now that Zhao Daoxian and Geng Songfu share the pressure, Chen Mo only needs to read it and stamp the official seal of the county order.

For example, although some battle armors are repaired, how much money is needed, which requires Chen Mo to nod before this money can be spent.

There is also the production of clay pot bombs in the gunpowder factory, and now the material "saltpeter" is not enough, and Chen Mo needs to deal with it.

There is also a certain person in the city who raped a woman, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, and killed the woman, and finally the matter was exposed.

Wu Shan submitted the case to Geng Songfu, who confirmed that there were no mistakes, and then handed it over to Chen Mo, asking for a summary decision.

Chen Mo wrote the word "quasi" on the fold, and sentenced the murderer to death, and he will be beheaded in a few days.

"Da-da."

Just as Chen Mo was carefully reviewing, footsteps came from behind him.

Chen Mo's ears pricked up, and after knowing who was coming through his footsteps, he said, "Something?" ”

Chen Mo turned his back to Xia Zhining, still sitting, holding chopsticks in one hand and pig brush in the other, it seemed that he was very good at sneak attack, and the probability of success seemed to be quite large, but Xia Zhining did not have the slightest idea of wanting to sneak attack, and said, "When will you let us go?" ”

Chen Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't know how to say, "Didn't you say it before?" When you have paid your debts, I will let you go. ”

"And how long are you going to drag it out?" Xia Zhining gritted her teeth.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks and turned around, and said, "The creditor is not in a hurry, but the debt is in a hurry first, think about it?" ”

Looking at the young man's playful smile, Xia Zhining glanced at him, took a light breath, and said, "We just want to leave early." ”

"I've been a little busy lately, and I'll collect the bills when I'm done." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he was about to turn around.

Xia Zhining was a little annoyed: "Then when can you finish your work?" ”

It depends on when he recovers.

Chen Mo didn't answer, but said, "I haven't had breakfast yet, come and eat together." ”

Xia Zhining didn't move, just looked at him straight.

At this time, Chen Mo found that the gold ring he gave to Xia Zhining was not worn by the other party.

It seems that I really the other party last time.

However, Chen Mo already had a way to deal with it in his heart, and said: "Eat first, and after eating, accompany me to the outside of the city to have a look, and I'll tell you then." ”

Xia Zhining still didn't move.

However, Chen Mo didn't say anything more, turned around and ate by himself.

Seeing this, Xia Zhining still sat down to eat, and the reason she found for herself was that he owed him, and he didn't eat for nothing.

After she sat down, Chen Mo sandwiched a piece of meat to her and said softly, "I'm still angry." ”

Xia Zhining ignored him.

What are you still angry about?

I haven't been angry with him.

"Actually, what I said last time was just angry words, don't take it to heart." Chen Mo said to himself.

Xia Zhining was stunned, but still ignored him, expecting the other party to apologize in her heart.

But after Chen Mo finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.

After breakfast.

Chen Mo asked Chunhong to find a veil for herself, and then took Xia Zhining to the stable, pointed to the white horse in the stable, and said, "Do you still know it?" ”

"Of course I know, that's my Snow Dragon." Xia Zhining walked over, touched Xue Longjun's head, and finally put her face against Xue Longjun's face, and said softly: "Xue Ling, it's good that you're okay." ”

"I'll serve it with good food and drink, what can I do?" Chen Mo took the saddle, draped it on Xue Longjun's body, and immediately said, "Xue Ling, good name, but it is now my war horse." ”

Xia Zhining looked at Chen Mo angrily, but she also knew that if she wanted to get Xue Ling back from Chen Mo's hands, she was afraid that it would be impossible.

"County magistrate, the veil you want." At this time, Chunhong also came over.

"Give it to her." Chen Mo said a word, then looked at Xia Zhining, and said, "Tie it up, follow me out of the city." ”

Xia Zhining frowned, but still did so.

Seeing this, Chen Mo smiled with satisfaction, and finally he rode the snow dragon horse, Xia Zhining rode the jujube red horse that Chen Mo had ridden, followed by a team of brave guards, first out of the yamen, and then out of the city.

At this time, after Xia Zhining lived in the yamen, she went out of the city for the first time, and she found that the changes outside were too great.

First of all, when she went out of the city and passed through the city, the cityscape was completely new, neat and orderly, especially the bustling and lively scene, which made her feel like she was back in Nanyang for a while.

Especially Chen Mo's army, one by one, with their heads held high, their faces serious, and they walked neatly and neatly, which was not at all what anti-thieves should have, like a regular army.

The most important thing is that she found that the people in the whole city, as long as they saw Chen Mo, they would greet them warmly, and this enthusiasm was not pretended, but sincerely revealed.

Once you're out of town, it's even more so.

Outside the city is no longer what she was when she first came to Pingting County.

The people were tired from working in the fields, but everyone had a happy and satisfied smile on their faces, and the surroundings were peaceful, and no one came to disturb them.

The people's attitude towards Chen Mo is not an exaggeration to describe it as admiration.

She saw in the book that only officials who are supported by the people will be warmly welcomed by the people.

This kind of scene, even the father, has never done it.

"He, how did he do it?"

Xia Zhining looked at Chen Mo with curiosity in her heart.

"Uncle Potato Root, how's the harvest?" Chen Mo turned over and dismounted, saw a familiar person, and asked.

Li Shugen is a native of Fuze Village, and when he heard Chen Mo's words, he immediately walked out of the field, washed his hands in the ditch, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the county magistrate, three acres of land have collected more than 1,000 catties of grain. ”

Then he looked at the veiled woman on the side and asked tentatively, "Is this the lady?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xia Zhining glared at Chen Mo and said in a low voice, but she didn't have the anger in her heart when Chunhong called her wife for the first time, but a little bit of unexplained joy.

In this regard, Chen Mo smiled and said to Li Shugen: "Then you will be planting late rice soon, right?" ”

Li Shugen nodded: "In the past two days, I have finished plowing the paddy field, and I can plant late rice seedlings, and I must finish planting before the beginning of autumn, so that I can complete the harvest before the frost." ”

Chen Mo bowed his head.

The northern part of the Great Song Dynasty planted two crops of rice, and although the yield of single-cropping rice was higher than that of double-cropping rice, the total amount was much lower than that of two-cropping rice.

After inspecting the fields, Chen Mo took Xia Zhining to Fuze Village to watch Gao Ming's training.

"Qingzhou Army?!" Xia Zhining saw it at a glance.

"That's right." Chen Mo said.

"Isn't the Qingzhou Army completely annihilated?" Xia Zhining wondered.

"The 100,000 Qingzhou Army, it is easy to be wiped out by the regiment, and there are still some remnants in the world, so I made them instructors in the reserves. Look at it, how is the practice? Chen Mo asked Xia Zhining's opinion.

Hearing this, Xia Zhining was stunned.
